“Alaska is on a
lot of people’s
travel bucket list,
and there’s a good
reason for that.
It’s a place unlike
any other, and The
Great Alone takes
readers there, introduces them to a land and a way of life
that is as unique as the state itself,” she
adds. “There’s a saying in Alaska: ‘You can
make one mistake; the second one will kill
you.’ As I was writing about characters living off the grid in the ’;;s in a place almost
too dangerous and wild to imagine, I was
amazed by how tough and resilient and
self-reliant the Alaskans had to be.”

The Great Alone is available in most
Costco warehouses, with some signed copies available online on Costco.com (Item

KRISTIN HANNAH
has become one of my
favorite contemporary
writers. If you haven’t
read anything by her
yet, her new novel, The
Great Alone, is the perfect place to start.

Set in the ;;;;s in
Alaska, the story is
about a family in crisis
and their ability to survive.

When The Connection asked Hannah
what she’d like readers to know about this
book, she says, “The Great Alone … is the
book I was destined to write. My family has
a long history in Alaska, and America’s last
frontier is an amazing, ... otherworldly
place, a land of incomparable beauty and
danger.” In the novel, a man with undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder takes
his family into the wild, in the hopes of saving them all, but they soon discover how
unprepared they are. Life in the wild for a
family already in crisis makes for an
intense, hard-to-put-down novel of survival and hope.
